Employer's info
We're Together, a specialist lender based in Manchester. Our team of more than 750 is continuing to grow, just as our profile does. We aÂre proud to be 52nd in the 2019 Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to Work For.
Lending year-in, year-out for more than 40 years, we've grown into one of the finance industry's best-kept secrets. We started life as one man, giving one loan. But now we aÂre a much larger team, helping thousands of customers, and have a loan book topping £3billion.
We know that life can be complicated, and that each customer is more than just a credit score. So we get to know the person behind the application, looking at the bigger picture so we can say yes where other lenders might have closed the door. Our customers have big dreams and big plans, and we are here to help them get there.
